How to get to Centralia?
Map to Centralia

Take 61/54 west from the speed shop through Mt. Carmel, through Kulpmont, and into Shamokin. Make a left on rt 125 south in Shamokin ( 125 connects with 61/54 at about the center of Shamokin), and take it south out of town. When you get out of Shamokin on 125, you'll enter a hard curve to the left. Look for a sign on the right side of the road at the curve (if the sign is still there) for a stripping or a mining operation or whatever... should be the first mining operation you see outside of town. Make a right turn at the road next to the sign... that road goes into Bear Valley, through the first and second patches. Continue on the same road... it will eventually turn into a rugged dirt road.
